Hi, I had the same doubt about generating attributes for an element and the reply by pjotrik sorted it out... partially.

I still wonder what I can do to generate an attribute for e rather than for the root element.

That is, I would like my data to look like

<root>
  <e a="attribute value">element value</e>
</root>
[download]

rather than

<root a="attribute value">
  <e>element value</e>
</root>
[download]

Any ideas? I am sure it's simple but I'm inexperienced...

Thanks a lot!
